Hasan Sadiq Assorted Qasiday (Faisalabad)

Assalam o Alaikum,

Hasan Sadiq has been releasing qasiday/dhammal albums for many years now. I first came to know of this back in 2004/05 when Hasan Sadiq came to Islamabad and left an album at our home. Since then, I have been listening to his qasiday/dhammal albums regularly. During some years, he's been so prolific that he's released three albums -- one for nohay, one for manqabat, and one for qalandari dhammal.

My father purchased a whole set of his qasiday/dhammal albums in audio cassette format and digitized them to audio CDs. The playlist below contains a sample set of 30 of his Qasiday/Dhammal. Since some of these were before the time of CDs, only the audio was available, so we have presented the Qasiday/Dhammal on top of a slide show of religious images:

Please click on the button right beside the play button to scroll through the list of qasiday in this playlist. There are 30 of them!

Asad Abbas and Ali Abbas Album 2008 (Faisalabad)

Assalam o Alaikum,

During a Shab Bedari in 2008, Asad Abbas came to Peshawar along with his uncle Hasan Sadiq and cousin Raza Hasan. He gave us his first noha album in cassette form which I happily digitized and made available for momineen. His brother Ali Abbas is also named in the title; however, I recognize the voices of both brothers and based on my own judgement, I think he has recited most nohay in this album himself.

Just as a reference for momineen, this whole family is involved in Azadari (though there are a few who are involved in professional singing as well). Asad Abbas and Ali Abbas are the nephews of Hasan Sadiq, Sharafat Ali, and Nazakat Ali. Asad Abbas and Ali Abbas are also the cousins of Raza Hasan and Amanat Ali. All of these people have achieved successes in their professional lives. Hasan Sadiq, Sharafat Ali, and Raza Hasan are involved in reciting nohay and qasiday, whereas the others are mostly involved in professional singing; however, due to their religious beliefs, they are also involved in azadari during the holy months of Moharram and Safar.
